You are studying lipoprotein processing in a strain of mutant mice. You find that these mice synthesize the same apolipoprotein

composition contained in lipoproteins made in the liver and the intestines, whereas, in wild-type mice there are 2 different sized apolipoproteins in these same tissues. Examination of the mRNA processing in the mutant mice would most likely show a defect in which of the following processes?A. alternative polyadenylationB. alternative splicingC. differential cappingD. posttranscriptional modification converting a U to a T residueE. RNA editing

Answer: Option E -- RNA Editing

Explanation:

It should be noted that, RNA editing can be defined as a molecular process via which some cells can make discrete changes to specific nucleotide sequences within an mRNA molecule after it has been generated by RNA polymerase. In addition, we have two major types of RNA editing with 1 being a C-to-U change catalyzed by cytidine deaminase that deaminates a cytidine base into a uridine base, e.g C-to-U editing is with the apolipoprotein B gene in humans. ApoB-100 is expressed in the liver and apoB-48 is expressed in the intestines. The B-100 form comprises of a CAA sequence that is edited to UAA, a stop codon, in the intestines.

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

12-day litter weight is a trait that has an important genetic influence and therefore also a high response to selection

Explanation:

Heritability is a statistical measure of how much of the variation in a given trait can be attributed to genetic differences and how much of trait variation is due to environmental factors. A heritability value close to 1 indicates that almost all of the variability is due to genetic factors, while being poorly influenced by environmental factors. In this case, 12-day litter weight is a trait that exhibits an important genetic component (i.e., a high heritability value), thereby the correlation between parent and offspring will be high and lines selected for this trait will show a high response to selection.
